The Craigslist ad says:
“This fully-renovated house features two bedrooms (not huge, but functional with lots of closet space), lots of great natural light, and one and one/half bathrooms. The kitchen boasts modern stainless steel appliances and granite counter tops, not to mention a FABULOUS back splash. Hardwood floors grace all levels.
This BEAUTIFUL, newly-renovated, two-bedroom, one and one/half bathroom rowhouse is available for rent. The Potomac Avenue metro stop (Orange/Blue line) , Harris Teeter, and the shopping & dining of Barracks Row are all just two easy blocks away! Check the location on the map and don’t be fooled by other places that claim they’re in Capitol Hill, but are really miles away.
Other amenities include central heat & air (perfect for the sweltering summer weather), in-unit washer and dryer, a beautiful back patio/yard with plenty of room to grill/entertain. This home is a commuter’s dream, whether you’re planning on jumping on the Metro just two blocks away, heading to the Navy Yard or Nationals Stadium, or going further afield by jumping on 295/Southeast-Southwest Freeway.”

$2299 per month (utilities not included) sound right for this 2 bedroom?

“Dear PoPville,
I live in a 100 year old town home in Dupont. The back bedroom is set up as an office, and is where my wireless router sits. I have terrible wifi reception pretty much everywhere else in the house. There are a number of plaster walls and a bathroom between the back room and the front of the house. Moving the router out of that room is problematic for a number of reasons, and I’ve upgraded to the most powerful router, turned it up to 11 and so on. Have your readers experienced similar issues, and what work-arounds have folks come up with?”

Thanks to a reader for sending in the photo above. Back in March ’11 another reader expressed frustration that the bathrooms in the parked were locked.
Do you think calling the park police is an effective way to get the bathrooms unlocked?

This 3 bed/2.5 bath went under contract in 11 days (asking price was $899,000.) Are you surprised it went under contract so quickly?

“Dear PoPville,
I was wondering if you could ask your readers (those who ride), how they lock their motorcycles/scooters? I’ve seen anchors around DC you can install into the curb, from which you can attach and lock up your bike from. I was hoping to find out the legality of this, and if I need permission from DC or something. I attached a picture (below) for clarification. I’m also open to other ideas readers may have.”
Nam Viet reopens today after some renovations at 3419 Connecticut Ave, NW in Cleveland Park. You can see their menu here. Any fans?

Shawafel opened today (after a soft opening this weekend) at 11am at 1322 H St, NE. Their Facebook page says:
“I, Alberto Sissi, will be opening a Lebanese Cuisine on Monday, August 15, 2011 called Shawafel. Shawarma and Falafel quick served restaurant, the name comes from the two words combined “Shawafel”. We will be serving chicken, lamb and beef mixed Shawarma; the traditional Lebanese way which is made from scratch with my family’s secret sauce. All our meat will be bought from local farmers, cutting it, marinating it and then skewered on the vertical spit. Same goes for the chicken shawarma. We will be serving spreads such as: hummus and baba ghanoug. For salad options, we will have Tabouleh and Fattouch as served in Lebanon. A side from other vegetarian options, we will be serving a cauliflower sandwich that is topped with lettuce, tahini sauce, pickels and fries. For the night goers the french fries sandwich should be satisfying, it is a signature sandwich that we will be offering; the topping remains a secret.”

Nivad writes about the soft opening:
“It was delicious.”
We previously spoke about Shawafel here.

“Dear PoP,
The empty lobby of West 22, at New Hampshire and M, across from Meiwah, now has this sign in the window. They’re opening a new Rasika??? Any word on when?”
Back in Feb. ’11 we learned the great news. At that time we heard that Rasika West End was aiming to open in February 2012. Peeking in the window, it’s not clear that buildout has started. I’ll be sure to update as we get closer to an opening date.
